Phone number ☎️ 0017779400001 👆 is reported as a persistent and aggressive scam originating from calls with American or South Asian accents, targeting individuals by referencing shares they purportedly hold or held in the past. Callers claim representation of companies seeking to buy shares at inflated prices and request personal or financial details, often citing fictitious confidentiality agreements or bogus firms based in New York. Many reports highlight these calls as attempts to extract fees or sensitive information without any genuine intention to purchase shares. The scam can involve repeated harrassing calls, sometimes even to deceased persons' relatives. Victims are strongly advised to avoid engaging, hang up immediately, block the number, and report the experience to relevant authorities to prevent falling prey to this widespread, well-coordinated con.

6 yearsHad a call from someone with a classic American accent, claiming their client wanted to buy 51% of shares, offering loads more than market value. They probably got my details from some shareholder list. I told the bloke straight up he was a scammer, but he just carried on like I was talking nonsense, even after I said I'd call the cops. It’s crazy how this number keeps getting mentioned in loads of reports, yet the police don’t seem to track it down and stop them. It’s insane these con artists can keep fleecing folks out of their savings when catching them should be straightforward.6 yearsI got a call from a robotic voice sounding American claiming they were from Amazon and said they were going to charge me for Amazon Prime. I just ended the call and blocked the number straight away.Amazon6 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from New York, talking about shares I supposedly own but actually sold ages ago. I’d read quite a bit online about this kind of scam before, so I called them out on it. As soon as I mentioned I knew what they were up to, they just cut the call off right away.New York6 yearsGot a call from some guy with an American accent, said he was ringing from New York about BT shares that supposedly I still own, which isn’t true at all. Told him straight up I wasn’t falling for any scams, and he just replied with a confused “What?”. I told him he was trying to con me and hung up. Blocked the number right away.New York6 yearsI reckon they were planning a bit of a dodgy scheme with their share buybacks, but once they figured out that I was onto their little game, they threw in the towel. Quite the cheek, really!6 yearsDon’t really know much about the number apart from it’s definitely used by fraudsters. They run their scams from this and loads of fake numbers like it. I’ve got call blocking on and only pick up if I actually hear a voice - scammers hardly ever talk nowadays, though I guess that could change with time.6 yearsGot a call three separate times within just five minutes. The person on the other end kept repeating "Igor, Igor" in a really harsh voice. I ended up just hanging up and blocking the number straight away.Igor7 yearsGot a call from someone saying they wanted to talk about shares I supposedly owned. As soon as I told them I didn’t have any shares anymore, they just hung up straight away. The caller said they were calling from the United States, but honestly it sounded like a total scam to me. Such a load of rubbish.7 yearsLike many here, this was really annoying. My missus made it clear we weren’t interested but the bloke kept pushing, asking how we could be sure we didn’t want a chat. She ended the call, but the guy didn’t quit, ringing back almost straight away like speed dial. We picked up then dropped the call right away, it happened about eight times! After a bit, they gave up and we managed to block the number finally.7 yearsGot a call from someone in the States claiming they wanted to purchase shares from my dad's portfolio. Thing is, he passed away seven years ago. Pretty weird situation.7 yearsI got a call where the lady asked for me by name, but when I asked who she was, she just hung up straight away. Seems like another dodgy scam to me.7 yearsGot a call from a bloke in America, number 001 777 9400001, claiming he wanted to discuss British Asset Trust shares. Felt a bit dodgy, so I just ended the call straight away.British Asset Trust7 yearsI didn’t pick up a call from a number I didn’t recognise and they never left any voicemail.7 yearsI got a call today from someone saying I held shares in the firm I’m employed by. They claimed the company register still lists me as a shareholder and that their client was keen to buy them back at a premium. But I sold all mine like two years ago when a rival company took us over, so I’m pretty certain I don’t have any left. I mentioned this to the caller and when he offered to email me proof, I declined. I then checked out "Who called" and saw others’ experiences, thought I’d share mine as well.7 yearsCalled me up five times in just a couple of days, this number 0017779400001. They kept asking for my husband who passed away back in 2014, using his full name as well. Apparently it’s something about shares he had once owned, but they were sold years ago when he died. I told them to stop contacting me but they keep going - I’m just not going to answer anymore now.7 yearsJust wanna add to my last comment - even if the number’s showing as New York, don’t automatically think the business is actually there. It’s probably a trick to make the call sound more legit instead of being from somewhere in Asia or so.New York7 yearsGot a call from a lady speaking with an East Asian accent claiming to be from New York. She seemed to have my personal number and even knew my name. She started asking questions about shares, specifically ones related to the firm I work at. Something felt really off, definitely not your usual scam. To me, this was more like a targeted attempt. I'd say it's a con, they don’t care about helping you financially, just their own gain. Best thing is to just disconnect, don’t get involved, block the number and share what happened on review sites. That way, maybe others won't get caught out.New York7 yearsAvoid getting involved with Taylor Maison share sales, it's a total con! Definitely steer clear, they’re not on the level at all.Taylor7 yearsGot a call from someone using really outdated info about me, tried to pull off some kind of scam but it was obvious straight away. Classic share scam attempt.7 yearsOn 4th April 2019, at around 7:56 pm, I got a call from 0012020000003 claiming someone was interested in buying my shares from Legendary Investment Plc for somewhere between £5 and £15 each. They sent me what they called a Confidential Memorandum of Non-Disclosure to sign. Felt like one of those dodgy scams coming out of the States. In the past, I pretended to be interested to draw out more info, then reported them to the US Securities and Investment authority, who are supposed to shut down fake operators like this.Legendary Investment PlcSecurities and Exchange CommissionStates7 yearsI got a call from someone with an American accent claiming to be from Taylor Maison Capital Group, based at 253 Broadway, New York, NY10007 USA. I tried looking up the company but couldn’t find any details anywhere. The woman asked about my shares in a company called NXT, which I used to own but went under years back. She said she had a buyer interested in purchasing those shares. Sounds dodgy to me since NXT isn’t even around anymore, so I reckon it’s a scam.Taylor Maison Capital GroupBroadwayNew YorkNY10007NXT7 yearsGot a call earlier today from a guy speaking with an American accent. He somehow knew personal stuff and asked about my husband who died back in 2015. The bloke said he had a buyer interested in shares of NEX. I had to tell him NEX isn’t even around anymore. Honestly, when is FINRA gonna do something about these muppets???NEXFINRA7 yearsI've had three calls this week from different numbers, like 0017779400001, all wanting to sell me shares in Blacks Leisure. Each time the accent sounds strongly Indian, even though they claim they're calling from the US. Blacks Leisure went bust years ago, so it seems dead obvious this is some sort of scam. Wouldn't trust it at all.Blacks LeisureAmerica7 yearsGot calls thrice over two days about some shares I supposedly had but actually dont. They kept saying they’re taking over the company and want to buy my shares. I tried explaining you can’t sell what you don’t own and I cant authorise selling my wife’s shares either. Felt fishy and ended up blocking them. All sorted now!7 yearsGot a call around 8.23pm, answered right away thinking it might be a relative. The person asked straight for me by name, I asked what it was about. He kept pushing, so I joked saying I wasn’t sure who I was today. He chuckled and claimed to be from a finance company. I told him to stop, as I’d had calls from them before, even though this time it was a different number from New York. Definitely just a scam.New York7 yearsGot a call from a woman with an Indian accent who already knew my name. She claimed she had someone ready to purchase my shares in a company. I just told her I wasn’t interested and then ended the call. After that, I blocked the number.7 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be calling all the way from New York, kept telling me he wasn’t trying to sell anything. Sounds pretty dodgy to me - best to just hang up or block that number straight away.New York7 yearsI got a call from a woman named Jessica Williams, she started chatting about some shares. When I told her what she was doing sounded dodgy and probably illegal, she just hung up on me. Definitely don’t give these people any details.Jessica Williams7 yearsGot a call from 0017779400001 on 22nd Feb 2019 around 7:35 pm. The guy on the line sounded Indian and claimed he was calling from New York. He wanted to chat about some kind of special deal on Whitbread shares and asked for my email. I declined and he just ended the call. The number doesn’t seem to be genuine New York, so I reckon it’s a bit dodgy. Watch out, looks like a scam to me.New YorkWhitbread7 yearsGot two calls from this number today, just showing up on caller ID and honestly, it felt like pointless bothering.8 yearsI got a call from an Asian guy telling me I could sell my Whitbread shares to some New York company, claiming they’d offer a better price per share than Whitbread itself. He said his firm wanted to buy around 8% from private shareholders as part of a takeover bid. When he asked for my email, I just hung up. They tried ringing me two more times after that. The number that showed up was 0017779400001. Watch out, it’s definitely a scam!WhitbreadNew York8 yearsHad a call just like that, about buying Millwall shares or something, saying they’re on the verge of being bought out and I’d make around £15.20 per share. They asked for my email but I refused to give it. The moment I said I wasn’t interested, they just hung up. It all sounded fishy, like the usual ploy to get you to hand over bank info and end up sending them cash. The number linked to this scam is 001604593812, just so you’re aware.Millwall8 yearsThis lady just didn’t give up, kept ringing me back three different times after I ended the call.8 yearsGot a call from a lady with a thick Asian accent who seemed to know some personal info about shares I used to own. When I told her I don’t have those shares anymore, she quickly changed the subject and just ended the call. Best thing I did was block her number right after.8 yearsGot a call from an Asian lady saying she was with Hildebrand Capital based in New York, interested in buying some shares I supposedly own in the Daily Mirror. She said I needed to pay a bond upfront. Sounds fishy to me. I actually sold all those shares ages ago. Total scam, beware.Hildebrand CapitalNew YorkDaily Mirror8 yearsI got a call from a bloke who asked straight away for me by name and then mentioned a company I supposedly own shares in here in the UK. He said he was from a firm wanting to buy my shares and asked me for my email so they could send an official offer. When I queried how he got my details, he said it was from "the register". I then asked him exactly who the company registrar was. There was a pause, like he was trying to find out, and then he said "the London Stock Exchange". I told him off for that, saying "that's just where the shares are listed, they don’t handle the register".UKLondon Stock Exchange8 yearsI got a call from this sketchy number that somehow had my phone and knew about my shares. It felt really risky, so I just ended the call and added the number to my block list.8 yearsLooks like this Johnson Mathers thing is some kind of share scam. Definitely don’t trust it.Johnson Mathers8 yearsLooks like a typical boiler room scam to me. Immediately blocked them.8 yearsGot a call the other day from someone who seemed to know quite a bit about me, even some things from my past. She said she was ringing for Solvay about my shares there. Then she claimed that Solvay had been taken over by a company called Mackintosh, and that I needed to move my shares into a different account or something. When I asked her some questions and told her I thought it was a scam, she called me an idiot and just ended the call. Definitely dodgy!SolvayMackintosh8 yearsThis number 0017779400001 called my mum pretending to be Samantha Powers. She was asking about Johnson Matthey shares and wanted her email address. Seemed a bit suspect!Samantha PowersJohnsonMatthey8 yearsGot a couple of calls on 23rd July at 13:10, both times asking me about my shares. Pretty sure it’s just some scam attempt.8 yearsI've received three phone calls from this particular number. Two of the callers spoke with American accents, while the third had an Indian accent. They purport to be representatives of an investment firm called Ashdene.Ashdene8 yearsPicked up, but no one left a message. Could hear loads of background noise, sounded like a busy office with people talking and moving about.8 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be “Alison Gray” from some company called “Cooper Holdings” out of New York, wanting to talk about “Corus” investments. Problem is, a) I don’t own any “Corus” shares, and b) while a Cooper Holdings is a legit company in NY, they don’t trade shares or anything like that. Pretty sure it’s a scam. That’s my third random call today - one with the number blocked and another from China.Alison GrayCooper HoldingsNew YorkCorusChinaSubmit Your Own Report ((777) 940-0001)
